I adopted the leading underscores style a long time ago, when using
Eclipse. It helped with completion (Eclipse was very slow at this,
back in the day).
However, seeing that in code has "scared" people, since its unusual.
Next: Hibernate is not as flexible as Tapestry, and leading
underscores confuse it (when you apply annotations directly to
fields). I don't want some of my code following one convention, some
following another.
Further, I'm using some some Groovy now, maybe some Scala in the
future. And often, I'm using final variables from inner classes. The
underscores become increasingly chancy there.
So I don't want underscores in the tutorials and examples, and I want
to be consistent.
Its not a big deal, lots of meaningless changes ... to
implementations. No backwards compatibility issues. Underscores will
continue to be allowed (and stripped out as necessary). I'll leave a
number of underscored fields in the integration test suite.
